SDCC 2007: Alé Garza

Newsarama reports: Artist Ale Garza was doing sketches at his booth in Artist's Alley and talking to fans about his upcoming work on Teen Titans for DC Comics.

"It's kind of cool to be working on Teen Titans with this story because our first storyline that starts with issue #51 involves the Titans of Tomorrow. That was a story arc that I enjoyed when Geoff [Johns] and Mike [McKone] did it, and it's a retouch on that, so it's pretty exciting," he said.

Garza said that Teen Titans has been his dream book for awhile now. "It's the one book that I was aiming to get when I started working at DC, since I did Graduation Day," he said. "It's really exciting. And I'm glad to be working with Sean McKeever. I've been a big fan of his work for awhile. And I'm drawing characters that I really like to draw."

And which of the Titans are his favorites to draw?

"I really like drawing Supergirl, obviously, since I drew her for four issues," he said, "but I also like drawing Robin. Everyone else has been fun to draw too."
